From Saturday's Daily.
This morning Sheriff Quinton re
turned from Wahoo. bringing with
him Charles Smith. who acknow

Smith made an attempt to get away,
the sheriff had thrown his overcoat
in his auto, which had his revolver

away, the sheriff was after him, but
as the thief was a big man and a
good runner he soon outdistanced
the sheriff, and the Home Guards
had to be called out to assist in
rounding the culprit. This they did
in the most approved manner, and
soon had the man a captive and was
then lodged in jail to await the
coming of the Cass County Sheriff.

put to Mr. Smith he admitted the
theft, and returned peaceful with
Sheriff Quinton, and now is resting

BETTER BE ABSOLUTELY LOYAL
From Saturday'? Daily.
In yesterday's paper it was re
ported to us that some one had gone
to the St. Paul's church, to stop the
rinsing of the bell during the pa
rade Thursday. This was so re
ported, and on evidence which we
take for granted is true. That per
son was not the minister of that
church, but it matters not, who it
was there is this much, certain,
whether it be that church, or any
other church, or any other kind of
an organization, all must obey the
law. The Home Guards were asked
to see that the law was obeyed. This
organization is for this purpose in
time of stress like the present, and
to enforce an edict to the people,
whether written or unwritten, "That
there is no place for any one in this
county who is not Absolutely Loyal."

Plattsmouth.
From Thursday's rally.
Will C.ravett was out and down
town this morning for a short time
coming after some medicine for the
other members of the family. The
whole family are down, and some
of them rather bad at this time, but
hopes are entertained that they will
soon be on the road to recovery. Mr.
Gravctt las just gotten out, and is
feeling pretty fair. Mrs. Louis
Given, wife of Sergeant Given, ar
rived from her home at Camp Funs-
I ton. to assist in the care of the fam
ily and was also taken with the
malady. Sergeant Given is expected
to arrive tomorrow.
How can doubt exist in the face
of such evidence? Read here the
endorsement of a representative
citizen of Plattsmouth.
Louis Kroehler, prop. hardware
store, 521 Main St., says: "About a
year ago, I had a pain my back, and
I was so lame I couldn't stoop. My
kidneys were weak and I had a tir
ed, languid feeling nearly all the
time. Headaches were common. I
bought Doan's Kidney Pills from
Edward Rynott & Co.'s Drug Store
and they soon relieved me." (State
ment given April 10, 1912.)
On February 22, 19 10 Mr. Kroeh
ler said: "I still hold the same
opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills as
when I first endorsed them. It has
been several years since I have had
to take a kidney medicine."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

that Mr. Kroehler had. Foster-Mil-

relief that it will be the same with
